    Since the total probability will be 1, then:

    Pulling out a licorice = 1 - 2/8 - 3/8 = 3/8

    The probability for licorice candy would be 3/8. Since there is 8 candies total you would then just subtract lime and cherry out of it. So you're left with 3 licorice candies out of 8 candies total.
